After losing the mock-up for Cardboard Combat, I had to print, cut and stick a new set together. So far, after an evenings worth of effort, the armor and artillery units are ready. Just 30(!) infantry units to go but that can wait until tomorrow.

After that, scenery, battlefield markers and distance sticks will need to be re-made and i might mock-up some of the specialist squads that are in development. Anyway, plenty to do. Will keep you informed.

Playing for the first time this weekend, Dust: Tactics is a fantastic tabletop war game. Set in an alternate WWII, with laser guns and mech walkers rampant, players control squads of infantry, vehicles and heroes that take turns to move, attack and use special actions to defeat the enemy and achieve victory.

Over the weekend I played through the first three missions with Black Diamond and just loved it. It's a fast paced combat game, where victory and failure swing back and forth with the rolls of the (sometimes many) dice. The models are fantastic and with plenty of different squad expansions available to buy to bolster the ranks, I can feel my wallet being on the light side (memoir '44 all over again)!
